I don’t see why they wouldn’t be safe. Maybe not like right after but give it like till you can walk normally

You can, but I hated wearing that crap after lengthening. The most I'll do is a solid pair of sneakers now. After going through lengthening, you'll be nonstop thinking about how to provide the best foot-care possible. Because you'll have pain for a long time, and will always need to focus on stretching. I just didn't find the motivation to be wearing uncomfortable blocks afterwards. Because it feels like your legs will have aged by 20+ years after surgery (a small detail many don't mention). But I only speak for myself, so I'm sure everyone's experience is different.

No it shouldnt be much of a issue. It may be a little more challenging for your ankles though and also going through recovery.
